The unfortunate incident which was confirmed by the Deputy Police Public Relations Officer (DPPRO), Nasarawa State command, Mr Cornelius Ocholi, revealed that the victim was set ablaze by a local vigilante group in the area while his accomplices escaped.

He explained that before his men got to the scene, the deed had already been done even as “effort made by the police to get the names of the accomplice proved abortive as nobody could be found at the scene of the event, where the suspected thief was set ablaze.” He however cofirmed that seven persons have been arrested in connection with the incident.

Anyone that understand English should pls xplain to me, where and Hw where the people now arrested

Again? No hope.

This is a shame to the justice system. Nigerians have lost faith in the Justice system so street justice prevails with error of highest order. I suggest the UK Government come and set up annex courts in Nigeria (sarcasm).

shame..

is that the d only solution...?

Aluuism

Well we keep doing jungle justice to poor people,had it been he is in one ministry or office using pen, who will probe him, talk more of jungle justice........

in a land of corruption n a time of ALUU,the destiny of a great nation rest on the shoulder of a confused Shoeless president.his name...


#some pple wicked sha

Jeeeez!!!

brownlord:

Anyone that understand English should pls xplain to me, where and Hw where the people now arrested

dont mind nigerian police with their confussing statements, very clueless set of pple. 'when we got to scene we did nt find anybody at d scene, but we have made some arrest. Can someone pls tell me who they arrestd when there was nobody at d scene?

pls lets us all say NO to Jungle Justice. It is very bad.

Most crimes committed by community should attributed to the fail govt we have in this country. Govt has the responsibily of promt action anytim anyday how can police not act fast in any incident. Wat I read Always is the deed has been done before then got there. Plz should strt hold the dpo responsible for any lapses on their part. This act of jungle justice should be totally condemm.

Truly, tђє way we go about it whenever a suspected or even a confirmed robber or even armed robber ıs killed now makes me to believe that indirectly, people are calling for the legalization this crime. I wonder wђy people now consider tђє fate of robbers more than that of their victims. Last friday, an armed was killed aηϑ burnt in ♏v̶̲̥̅ area, aηϑ some1 was lamenting that its not fair, that tђє robber was born of a woman aηϑ shouldn't deserve such treatment. I looked at tђiƨ̣̇̇ idiot with scorn, cos tђє robber in question ıs tђє only unfortunate member of a 6-man gang tђα̲̅t robbed a woman of millions of naira, shot tђє shot to death, killed a policeman tђα̲̅t rushed to scene aηϑ also a woman tђα̲̅t I could not ascertain now whether she ıs dead or not. Tђє rest escaped aηϑ luck ran out of tђiƨ̣̇̇ guy, he was burnt immediately, maybe yσυ guys should suggest to me tђє best treatment that would have been given to tђiƨ̣̇̇ guy ƨ̣̇̇ø as not be guilty of jungle justice...its high time we started concluding plans to march to the National Assembly ƨ̣̇̇ø that armed robbery should be legalized ƨ̣̇̇ø as to save more robbers tђє chances if facing a jungle justice.
